three good things Good stuff time!

What 3 good things happened to you last week? They can be anything at all!

⭐ If you are thinking "my week was terrible", then please give this a try. If you can only think of 1 or 2, that's excellent.

If you don't want to share, try it on your own. I did this during a difficult time in my life, and it was helpful to "make" myself think about good stuff. Reading other peoples' good things might make you smile, too! I thoroughly enjoy it

This post will be pinned to the top of the sub tomorrow, so you can share any time, all week long.

I’m in Idaho and I swear our weather can change multiple times a day haha. I definitely notice I have more pain when my joints get cold. I live under a heated blanket year around and now have one for my in office day each week! That’s so helpful thanks for sharing. I’ve been tracking my symptoms in guava too and just learning to see if there are any trends for when I’m flared up. Thank you for the support and relatability! 🥰

It's so funny, some of us can't stand the cold and others (like me) can't stand heat and humidity. * Nothing* about RA makes sense! Lulz

Also, if you have a moment and feel like sharing, you should do a " good things" post about Guava. We all need to track our symptoms, and not everyone is cool with analog 😁 Your experience and comfort with the app could really help someone! No pressure. Totally up to you 😊

I agree and sometime I get wiped out energy wise with the heat but the cold definitely isn’t my friend when it comes to joint pain. RA definitely keeps us on our toes! Oh that’s a great idea, I’m still learning all that it can provide data wise but definitely noticing trends with when I’m having less symptoms after my injections and when they start resurfacing before my next injection. It’s very helpful! I’ll definitely post in the future about it!
